Australian bowler James Faulkner allegedly damaged a hotel chandelier before quitting Pakistan's Twenty20 league at the weekend claiming he hadn't been paid, claims that were refuted as "baseless" by the country's cricket board.
Yash Dhull led India to the U19 World Cup title earlier this year and has gone from strength to strength ever since. He made his Ranji Trophy debut in the Elite Group H match for Delhi vs Tamil Nadu in Guwahati, and immediately announced himself with a brilliant hundred. On Sunday, the young right-hander joined an elite list of batters to hit centuries in each innings on Ranji Trophy debut. Playing for Gujarat, Nari Contractor was the first to achieve the feat while Virag Awate of Maharashtra was the second player to do so.
Indian pundits and players on Sunday hailed Rohit Sharma as the new all-format skipper after he replaced Virat Kohli in one of world cricket's biggest jobs. Rohit, 34, was appointed Test captain on Saturday ahead of the two-Test Sri Lanka series next month which will be preceded by three Twenty20 internationals beginning on Thursday. The swashbuckling opener was a unanimous choice for the Test job after he took over the white-ball duties from Kohli, who gave up the T20 captaincy last year and then was sacked as 50-over skipper.
Yash Dhull registered a century in each of the innings of Delhi's ongoing Elite Group H Ranji Trophy match against Tamil Nadu here at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. Dhull completed the feat on Day 4 of the match on Sunday. He is only the third Indian batter to score centuries in both innings of the first-class debut. Dhull brought up the three-figure mark off 200 balls in Delhi's second innings with the help of 13 boundaries. In the first innings, the right-handed young Delhi batter had scored 113.
James Faulkner allegedly damaged a hotel chandelier before quitting Pakistan's Twenty20 league at the weekend claiming he hadn't been paid, claims that were refuted as "baseless" by the country's cricket board. Faulkner, a member of Australia's 2015 World Cup-winning team, had been playing for Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Faulkner abruptly left the league and took to social media to claim that he'd been lied to by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and that his treatment had been a "disgrace". "I apologise to the Pakistan cricket fans. But unfortunately I've had to withdraw from the last 2 matches and leave the @thePSLt20 due to the @TheRealPCB not honouring my contractual agreement/payments," Faulkner said on Twitter.

After an injury-ravaged 2021 that saw him significantly cut down on his bowling duties, Hardik Pandya is yet to make his Team India return this year. The all-rounder was not included for the upcoming T20I and Test series against Sri Lanka when the Indian squads for the two formats were announced on Saturday. Hardik continues to recuperate from a back injury that has been troubling for some time. Team India chief selector Chetan Sharma was asked to comment on Hardik skipping the ongoing Ranji Trophy season and the possibility of his return to the Indian team.
